“I am not one of those who think that this needs to be an era of reconciliation here with the candidate that has been elected. You know Dietrich Bonhoeffer did not reconcile with the Nazis, Archbishop Romero did not reconcile with the oligarchs of El Salvador, and Martin Luther King did not reconcile with the KKK.

Some might say this is a bit hyperbolic, but Trumpism is fascism. There can be no accommodation with fascism.

Recommended. Between O'Malley, and Warren, and Sanders, and the new head of the DNC, we should have a multitude of strong Democratic/progressive voices. Let us hope that these voices can be heard and covered by a media that, so far, is obsessed with retweeting Trump's foolish words.
